One day, I will find the person who invented rubber bands for braces, and I will beat him with a sack of sweet Valencia oranges. D:

I'm only allowed to take them off when I'm eating, and it's a royal bitch to take them off and put them back on. I literally just had to rip one off of my back bracket so I could have my ramen noodles. One of them I pried off easily enough with the water-pik thingy and the other I had to tear off because in five minutes of trying to pluck it out neatly with the water-pik thingy, I couldn't get it LOOSE. I'm fortunate I didn't yank the bracket off, too.

So I have to have someone else assist me in getting them back in, because it's hard for me to perform my own dental work with my own hands, y'know? Which is a real bitch, because I don't like being an inconvenience to anyone, and nobody wants to stick their hands in my mouth. D:

In other news: I'm obsessed with this song. :D (Let My Love Open the Door - Pete Townshend) It's just such an awesome song.

And one of my friends on the KHFanficrants community on LJ recommended ways on getting up to Ohio and attempting to meet the band. BAHAHAHAHAHA. I'll have to bring a prop or two--I don't think an 18-year-old in a Dr Pepper T-shirt would really be considered a serious journalist, so that lie wouldn't work without some work. Even if I don't get tickets, I would like to lurk around outside of the arena just to be there in the same airspace as the boys. I have such a silly fangirl crush on them. I often wonder why I don't have any feeling towards band members that are more in my age range?

There are a few different reasons, I think--the era in which they began, the music that Pete writes (it's magic in lyrical form, and nothing less), the way Roger sings, the way they play their instruments. It's something that no other band has, and certainly no band that's popular with my age group has--bunch of whining pretty-boys with muddy guitars. Bah! Give me Mr Townshend with his roaring guitar, windmills, and stage destruction any day.

Or maybe I'm just a pervy old-man fancier. Seriously--I can't name one under-30 person that I have a Silly Fangirl Crush on. Johnny Depp, Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, Ringo Starr, Joni Mitchell, Gloria Steinem... I'm crazy, I suppose. But I like to think I'm crazy in a very friendly, harmless way.
